Despite 420,000 subscribers snagged by intensive promotion, Avant-Garde's future may be a bit precarious. Nothing Ginzburg puts his hand to seems to last very long. When Eros folded in 1963, it was followed a year later by Fact, which bogged down in exposes of everything from the danger of contact lenses to the uselessness of circumcision -not to mention a psychoanalysis of Barry Goldwater, sight unseen, by a group of overeager psychiatrists. Barry sued for $2,000,000, and the case is set for trial next month. Finding Fact too "grim" for his taste, Ginzburg folded...
Self & the Future. La Porte (pop. 25,000) was selected partly because it has no Catholic high school, partly because the local bishop, the Most Rev. Andrew Grutka of Gary, was willing to give the brothers a free hand in their approach to teaching. Setting up headquarters last September in a donated house, the Marists refurbished it with comfortable sofas and chairs; teenage volunteers renovated the basement, complete with pop posters, a jukebox, and pilfered street signs. Sessions for high school students are held three nights a week, from 7:30 to 9 o'clock; junior high students meet...
Feeding the Hot Hand. Baylor's career appeared finished after a horrendous accident in 1965 that tore off the top eighth of his left kneecap, followed by surgery for removal of calcium deposits. All last summer, under the direction of Dr. Robert Kerlan, the Los Angeles orthopedic surgeon who won fame for treating Dodger Hurler Sandy Koufax's arthritic pitching arm, he did special calisthenics to strengthen his joints-and snapped back this season to average 26 points a game, win a berth on the N.B.A. All-Star team...
West's performance is no less a tribute to medical science. Despite 1) a broken hand, 2) a broken nose, 3) another broken nose, and 4) a pulled groin muscle he averaged 26.3 points a game during the regular season, then sank a phenomenal 61% of his floor shots in the playoff games against San Francisco...
Unlike the Celtics, who rely strongly on the rebounding of Bill Russell and a patterned offense, Los Angeles is a run-and-shoot ball club whose offensive strategy consists simply of feeding the hot hand" of the moment. "Organized confusion,'' is the way Coach van Breda Kolft characterizes the Lakers' style of play. Van Breda Kolff contributes considerably to that himself. A sometime N.B.A. guard (with the New York Knickerbockers) and coach at Princeton during the Bill Bradley era, he is a study in perpetual motion during Lakers' games-stalking the sideline screaming at officials, drop...
